I have a Chihuahua named Mione. My daughter named her after Hermione from Harry Potter. I also ha
We also have a hamster named Sandy.

I disagree. I still have my class ring (class of 1985). It's tucked away in my jewelry...
box. My fingers are too fat to wear it now, but it has sentimental value. Mine was just a metal ring as well and it still looks great.
I gave my class ring to a boyfriend back in the day and it wore it on his pinky. Then he lost it on the beach at the local lake. We ended up breaking up not too long after that and I thought I would never see my ring again. Then one day I'm reading the local paper and there's an add that said "LORI -- did you lose your class ring at city lake? Call... and describe the ring." I called the number and described the ring and it was mine. Thankfully I had had my full name inscribed inside the band of my class ring! The guy that found it was this little old man who had a one of those metal detectors and he spent his retirement days scanning beaches, parks, etc for change and what other treasures he could find. I couldn't thank him enough! He wouldn't take any kind of reward for finding it.
Just thought I'd share my class ring story. I feel that class rings, class keys (Do they still do that?), and yearbooks are such an important part of the high school years, but that's just me.
Steel Magnolias? NM (s/l Weezer now)

I've seen Steel Magnolias
about 20 times and I have yet been able to get through the movie without tears.
What about the twins,
Olsen - their clothes remind me of the homeless people. I think fish when I see their faces.
I bet your twins are cuties...sm
Little girls are always cute too. You know, sometimes your siblings-in-law can be a pain in the butt. I used to have problems with mine but don't anymore. It sounds like to me your fiance's sis has been maybe saying some not too nice things about you or the twins. I don't know. That is just the way I would read into it. I wouldn't know what to make of it either. I can see why it bothers you. I would have probably commented under her post: "What does that mean?" I would probably message his sis or call her and ask flat out. It would bother me.
My cousin had fraternal twins - boy and girl
They fought like cats and dogs when they were young. Major sibling rivalry. I've heard of even identical twins hating each other. Weird.
I think what you said below is the key - you can't control their feelings, but you can certainly control what they say when they are around you. You have to set limits on acceptable ways of expressing themselves - "I'm really angry at my sister" is okay, but "I hate my sister" is not okay, for example.
You're doing fine. Follow your instincts. Read the responses here and listen to what feels right and ignore the rest. You know your son better than anyone. I am confident you will handle the situation just fine.
oh yeah, also Sweet Valley Twins
funny I ended up with cute blond twins of my own!!
Bobbsey twins when lil and Flowers in the Attic
   
I gave birth to twins, and I have to say they were not born the same minute.

Stick and stone...seriously! sm
My dad worked with a guy who named his boys stick and stone. Didn't believe him until one day I was working at a shoestore and was fitting some kids for their shoes and mom said, "stick and stone, get over here and sit down!" I about died! I had to run to the back room real quick to hide my laughter.
The first stone, anonymissy.
Get spayed?? For goodness' sake. Your vitriol must leave the constant taste of caca in your mouth. I don't envy you.
This all happened almost 40 years ago. I'd say I've forgiven myself, but I have never thought--& still don't think--I had anything to be forgiven for. I made a difficult decision. Period. I'm just sharing my experience, but I certainly didn't do it so that some board-lurking wack job with her own very serious self-forgiveness issues could flame me.
I always say, when people have such an extreme reaction it's coming out of their own pain. Whatever it is, you should get therapy or something, before it totally takes you over, although from the sound of it, it sounds like it's probably too late for that.
This was my experience, for better or for worse. I think anyone who can give a child up for adoption is absolute saint. Abortion is not easy, but I'll be the first to guess that giving up a child is much, much harder.
But I was not that person then. I was an out-of-control teenager. Speculating on how I would have behaved if I'd known then what I know now is pointless. At the time I knew nothing. The reality of the situation did not really touch me then, other than the fear of disruption of my life. I would imagine a lot of teenagers who get pregnant feel the same way, & one of the reasons I'm saying all this is so that if anyone comes into contact with such a girl, you can have a perspective on what she might be thinking. Or not thinking, as the case may be.
So, anonymissy, to answer your questions, I guess you would call them:
1. You need to tell me what a troll is, so I can tell you if I am one or not.
2. I'm not a liar, I really did have 4 abortions over my entire reproductive life, which is now over. I did not use abortions as birth control, in the sense that I did not plan any of the pregnancies, and for 2 of them I was actually on BC - once with an IUD and once with a diaphragm. The other 2 times I gambled & lost, but that kind of heat-of-passion decision making has been happening since the beginning of time, & to people a lot more mature than I was then.
3.Dysfunctional...hmmm. Well, let's see. Like I said, I'm not a liar. When I read a post by someone who is trying to make an honest statement on a board, who is making herself vulnerable by giving up very personal information in the hopes that someone in a similar situation or worse, & who has not been able to forgive herself, can maybe do that -- when I read such a post I don't pour gasoline on that person & light them on fire. I suppose you could say that all young, hormone-addled teenagers are dysfunctional, so in that sense I suppose you are right. But now? No.
As for you, I would say you really ARE dysfunctional. I think the venom with which you responded to my post says everything anyone needs to know about you. That there is something you need to punish yourself for, regardless of your posts to the contrary, & you that are projecting that punishment onto someone else; burning yourself in effigy, sort of.
Saaay laaaa veeeee, man. It takes all kinds.
p.s. to "first stone"
Would I do it again? Yes, I would. I never wanted children & am glad I don't have them now.
If I had felt or known then what I think and feel now, would I have had a kid and given it up? No, I wouldn't have. Even though I have a huge amount of respect for someone who can do this, it's just not my path.
Would I have gotten "spayed"? No, I wouldn't have. Not at 16, not even at 20. At the time I still thought I might change my mind in my 30s or whenever, but as it turned out, I never did.
twins nor triplets would be born at same minute. must be split personality, LOL! nm

tomb stone writings
I'm so sorry about your loss...it takes a "tincture of time" to adjust to it.
This is an inscription that I love: "Beneath this stone does lie, a beauty that will never die".
Hang tough friend, just take it a day at a time.
I like my pizza stone and can opener the best.
Any stone is nice if you bake. The items I use and LOVE the most are their spatulas. Everything is kinda pricey. They do have things in all price ranges though. I also like their cook books. I have never been to a power party! Have fun.
Stone Care International
I also have corian and this company Stone Care International has stuff specifically for corian. They have a deep cleaner for weekly cleaning and an everyday cleaner.

My husband had a kidney stone
and as the doctor was explaining to me what they found and where it was and what they would do I made a comment that I understand completely and then asked a question. I don't remember the question but it included a medical term and the doctor said to me "oh, do you have medical experience?" and I told him that I was an MT who transcribes acute care. The doctor then laughed and said that by the looks of his reports that come back that he didn't think MTs had any medical experience and were just typing.
Yes, irritated me as well. I dont' know why people think we don't understand what we transcribe. Understanding is a huge part of the job.
My 2-year-old twins are potty trained. (1 wears pull-ups at night).

Does anyone know where to look for poems or sayings to put on a grave stone? sm
Unfortunately, my brother and I have to go pick one out for our mother and I would like to find a nice poem or saying about mothers to put on it. Anyone with any ideas?
Archaic, stone age dental tools
pantyhose, blue eyeshadow, any kind of sweater or sweatshirt with a holiday theme.
Stone Phillips' sister is a radiologist where I work sm
She looks just like him, too!
Is the Turning Stone? If so, LOVE and miss that place. LinK, if I ever sm
get back home (from Rome, NY), let us get together! You sound like a lot of fun! I've been looking at places to stay and visit for a while now - didn't realize Turning Stone had a lodge now? When I lived there (mid-90s) they didn't have it then.
Boy, do I miss upstate NY and snow. Haven't seen snow in YEARS. I'm in GA now. Have fun!!!!!
Ck out the flooring stores/depts. Laminate made to look like all kinds of exotic woods, stone,

Nope ~ used to have a cat named Sam...
now have 2 cats, Lucky and Tripp, and a shetland sheepdog, Casey, which was on my list of baby names, but DH didn't like it.
Cats named Bob
We name almost all our cats Bob, but we have last names, which we call them by like:
Marley, Bob
Eubanks, Bob
Dylan, Bob
Barker, Bob
and my friend had a Maine Coon named Joe Bob! He was huge!
We  cats here too, but currently don't have one. Maine Coons are darling.

If there is a will but no executor named, then
the state steps in as executor and makes sure that the heirs named in the will get their rightful share, according to your grandfather's wish.
Only in the case when there are no heirs and no will, the assets go to the state.
2/3 class
I'm a former school teacher. As a matter of fact, I did my student teaching in a split 3rd/4th grade class. It was wonderful! It was the twice the work and preparation, but the kids were fantastic.
Kids selected for split classes are usually the best behaved, most independent workers in the class, so you should be bursting with pride that you daughter has been selected. Every other kid in the making the adjustment and will be meeting new kids, too, so I wouldn't worry about a 2nd grader being put in a new environment. Kids are extremely resilient and if she's smart, independent and motivated enough to be put in a split class, she'll more than meet the challenge of adapting to her new school environment.
Let us know how she does, OK?
Gas in Class
Yes I agree! These schools should get back to teaching! This is unreal! Getting punished for something your body does naturally? I don't think so!
you are not low class....
that poster was being rude. I feel for you. Keep being you and don't feel sorry for that! I think you are a hoot!
I'd let her out of the class. (sm)
Why break her spirit and make her lose her enthusiasm for school.
Don't kid yourself. If you had any class at all,
you wouldn't have posted your sarcastic and now condesdending remarks. You wouldn't know a standard if it walked up and slapped you in the face, at least not in this context.
maybe i have no class
and maybe i have no standards, but at least i know that i definitely would not want that man
Yikes!! She named names!!
 
Thanx! Saw a boat named that once, but it suits me better!

I have a Red Heeler named Eddie, a
an African Grey Parrot named Casey.
A doggie named Auggie. (nm)

a cat named Dogfood - that is awesome! nm
OJ Simpson is named a suspect
in a break-in at a Las Vegas casino hotel room. Supposedly he went into someones room and took items that he said belonged to him because they were stolen from him. Can't wait to hear the rest of this story. Just came across on MSNBC and now FOX News.
my cousin who is 6Ɖ'/280 lb is named HERB!
I've always said it with the H simply because of my cousin's name. He is named Herbert, Herb for short, so it is very hard for me to think of cilantro as an erb.
doc named Harry Roach

girlfriend named Shirley. What's not to like?

As you and your brother are named your grandtather's will as
beneficiaries, you and your brother will get your share. Your aunt cannot do anything against this.
The executor's duty is only to see that the stipulations in the will are respected Yaund each heir named in the will gets his/her share. The executor 'represents' the heirs only and is entrusted with the paperwork related to the execution of the will.
Your aunt is not allowed to cannot change anything in the will that your grandfather made.
Do you have a copy of this will?
Go the lawyer and have a meeting with him, especially if you are suspicious that something might go wrong.
Your brother should support you in this matter.
